France soccer president Philippe Diallo suggests Kylian Mbappé will miss Netherlands game, giving team time to fit him for a protective mask.
The most famous nose in world soccer was the biggest topic at Euro 2024 again on Tuesday, as French soccer chief Philippe Diallo spelled out his national team's tentative timeline for Kylian Mbappé's return to action. Diallo suggested to reporters that Mbappé, who broke his nose in a heavy collision with Austria defender Kevin Danso on Monday, would be left out of Friday's clash with the Netherlands in Leipzig as a precaution.
'The medical staff has tried to limit the consequences of the impact. We will wait and see exactly what happens over the next day or two.' France's all-time leading scorer Olivier Giroud is expected to come into the starting lineup for the Netherlands game, and Giroud admitted the Mbappé injury had left the squad with mixed feelings. 'It is a contrast between the fact that we won a match and that we are a little bit disappointed because of Kylian,' Giroud said.
